Four men caught stealing loads of energy drinks in a gold semi truck may also be responsible for other cargo thefts in the area, police say. 

The four men were caught red-handed on the afternoon of Monday, May 27th at the Rush Truck Park on Broadway Road near 32nd Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona. 

According to AZ Family, a security officer at the Rush center called police when he noticed a gold tractor trailer he thought he recognized from a previous theft. Officers arrived to find a gold semi truck, a red semi truck, and a Land Rover all departing from the truck yard. Employees at the business confirmed that no pickups were scheduled for that day. 

A short time later, a passenger in the gold semi truck got out of the truck and walked away. The rig then drove west on Interstate 10 until police pulled it over near 107th Avenue. Officers then found a fake license plate and a collapsible ladder inside of the truck. 

The red semi truck was eventually stopped at the Circle K on Buckeye Road near 35th Avenue. There officers found a traffic vest and a crowbar inside of the truck. The Land Rover was also stopped in the area, and officers found an ID inside belonging to the driver of the red semi truck. 

The gold semi truck was found hauling $50,000 worth of Red Bull, while the red semi truck was found loaded with $50,000 worth of Rockstar energy drinks. Surveillance video soon led police to link the four men involved in the energy drink heist to the theft of trailers loaded with $3 million in TVs the day prior. The surveillance video from both thefts showed men in distinctive shoes using the gold semi truck and the red semi truck. 

The four men,  43-year-old Ranjit Singh Sandhu, 30-year-old Neeraj Malik, 21-year-old Sahil Sahil and 21-year-old Robin Ran Singh, all denied involvement in the thefts. All four have been booked into jail on one count of third degree burglary. All four men spoke Hindi, and required an interpreter to communicate effectively with law enforcement.
